Members of the European Parliament separately decided upon guidelines defining the principles of operation and common priorities in the completion of the TEN-T network whose objective is to connect large European cities and ports, thereby establishing an efficient trans-European transport network. The Port of Koper is thus officially included in the Baltic-Adriatic and Mediterranean corridor connecting the North, South, East and West of the European continent. In its provision of new possibilities for the application of EU funds in much needed infrastructure projects, this approval is great importance for Slovenia.
